We are getting soooo excited.

Sound check going on, it's either Luke or a cover band.

Sorry looking at the posts on a phone while at the Contemporary Arcade.

Spoke with the workers on 7/3. They were attaching copper caps to the top of the log ends. They said they had to replace the top 3 logs due to rot. Now they are protecting them with the caps. Some have already started to turn green.

Something sponsored by Ford? Aren't those Ford Club cabs. We saw them from the boat this morning. I don't think they belong to the workers setting up.

I did rope drop at the Meadow Pool. It was still closed and they were cleaning the decks at 8:30 when I enter over and grabbed a table. Rest of the group came we went to the parade then back to our table.

Today was the only day this week that they have been checking. I'll keep you.informed about tomorrow.

Haven't seen that but there was a guy in the 1500 with a camper top for his jeep. I took a picture that I'll post when we do our trip report.

They have signs out saying the wagons and carriages are not available on 7/5 due to them being needed elsewhere.

They are checking for registered guests at the Meadow Pool! Of course they are only checking at the main entrance at the snack bar and at the backside past the bridge. They are issuing paper wrist bands, so I guess they will start patrolling poolside later.

I called a few days before check in and was told what loop we were in, but they wouldn't confirm the site number.

1400 is definitely open and seems like quite a few sites are occupied.

We rode bikes thru and there wasn't a lot going on. Not sure what they were refurbing. Fluffy has been yapping all day again today. Maybe it's echoing from Golden Oaks.

Raining on and off for the last few hours. Looks like Jason is the good observer.

Giant Bubba Mug full of ice water. Beer kicks in at noon.

It really didn't bother me, except for the fact that the dog must've been stressed out. We are in 1500, but I bet their neighbors weren't happy. As of yesterday afternoon 1400 still closed. Not a lot going on in it. This am, still a couple of sites in 1500. Yesterday afternoon there were about 30 open in 2000. We lucked out with the Tropical Storm so far. Got a couple of wind gusts yesterday afternoon and light clouds on and off, but no rain. This morning is hot, sunny, and hot. Everyone but me is at poolside. I'm waiting on some guests to arrive.

At 7 pm Fluffy was still yapping away. Don't know how he could still make a sound after almost 13 hours straight.

A TT drove thru 1500 yesterday, but I don't see it set up anywhere in here.

We'll the LG said they already finished the pool. Maybe she meant the falls/water course from the bridge down. The lobby still had a pardon sign in it. A cargo net stretched across a pickup bed make a great drying rack!

12:15, just came back to make lunch and Fluffy is still at it. When we checked in we were asked 3 times if we had our magic bands. We were then issued key cards since the bands don't work on the gate or bathrooms. Portable ice makers are a godsend! No more slushy $2.00 bags of ice from the comfort stations! Open sites at 1500, pool is very empty.

1400 is closed. Heard some contractors talking yesterday and hope they were joking because they said it would be closed until 2015.

This time of year, who wants to be in the parks anyway? 90 degree heat and tons of people! Not my idea of fun. We are spending the week at the Fort and enjoying all of its perks.

1400 loop is still closed. We rode our bikes thru there yesterday.... Don't tell security. A couple of contractors were there talking about getting trucks in and out. I hope the one was mistaken/joking, he said it would be closed until 2015. Pool is open at Wilderness Lodge. They had the upper falls covered when we went over there yesterday, but by the time we left they we taking down the scaffolds. The life guard told a guest that they had finished the lower falls/pool area. No matter how well behaved Fluffy is at home, make sure they won't be a terror on vacation. There has been a lit

We did both and we got one of our 3 requested sites. In fact we got our first choice. Of course mentioning that we had such a miserable time in 2000 and we got a comp night because of it might very helped. :-)

I think there's a couple of emptys.
